The Berkman
Rochester, Minnesota, United States · 4 Star Hotel
The Berkman Dog Friendly Review
The Berkman holds a failing F Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs and there is a dedicated dog space on site. There is no weight limit, and dogs can be left alone in the room, which makes an evening out straightforward.
The dog fee is $150 per stay. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
This is a hotel that accepts dogs rather than one built around them. It suits an owner who wants a dog space on site and the freedom to leave a settled dog, and who packs their own bowls.
